Get Shot - with MOLV MObile LiVe

MOLV, a shorthand for MObile LiVe is one of the latest ventures that attempts to make streaming live videos from your phones to the web "pretty simple." All you need is a data connection and MOLV client installed on your mobile phone. MOLV works over 3G, EDGE or WiFi.




Their pitch on VenCorps (where I'm a member) is:

"There are over 2 billion mobile phones* world wide. The things we could do with a mobile phone is no longer making calls and sending texts. It has changed a lot in the past years. Like streaming live video with audio to the masses right from your mobile phone. MOLV is working to open up this possibility for everyone. Now you don't need expensive equipment and TV stations to make your voice heard and share your life with the world. MOLV makes video streaming from mobile phones so easy, you just install a small piece of software to your phone and are ready to go live!"

* except most of them not video enabled....

The other companies that have ventured into live video streaming from mobile phones to date are Qik and Flixwagon. The major issue these two companies have had is their failure to provide support for a vast variety of mobile phones. I don't see how MOLV will overcome this problem, along with broadcast quality, instant editing, and other issues.

Am I too negative???
